The Hors,.>in,b Congress.

The Congress which ended i;s exist
ence ut noon on the ith inst. has
aiIcrdcd'a striking illustration of the
constant increase IN the volume Of leg
islatiun demanding attention of Con-
gress. More bills were introduced In
both houses, more committee reports
were made. more bills passed. more be-
came laws and more were vetoed than
ever before. MANY not only of the bills
and reports presented. hut OF the laws
enacted were of general interest and
Importance. Among them were the
Presidential Succession bill. the Elec-
toral Count bill, the ln,cr-S State Com
merce bill and the bill for the relief of
fitz John Porter.
The Forty-ninth Congress commenced
its session on the fourth day of Deem
Der, 1855. The Senate was in session
81 days. and the House 25l.
There were introduced IN the House
II, rs bills and e6J joint resolutions on
which over $3.50 reports were made. be-
ing several thousand more bills and
over n thousand more reports than were
made in the preceding Congress. which
had. in its turn, beaten the record.
In the Senate there were introduced
1857 bills and 2SS joint resolutions.
The total number of laws enacted was
approximately l.3sl. of which l.053
originated in the House and 33s in the
Senate. Fifty bills failed TO become
laws owing TO the adjournment of Con-
gress. There were lS2 bills vetoed by
the President. or u more than had be-
fore been vetoed since the foundation
of the government.

a pension to Joseph Romeiscr, and one
